Cyclist is shot in face on bridge.

A cyclist has been shot in the face with a pellet, believed to be from
an air rifle, as he crossed a bridge. The attack happened on Wednesday
afternoon in Eaton, a suburb of Norwich on the south side of the city.
The 32-year-old, not named by police investigating the incident, was
taken to the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and later allowed
home.

Four people arrested in connection with the shooting have been
released on bail pending further inquiries. A youth aged 16, two men
aged 18 and 21 and a 16-year-old girl were questioned.

It is the second recent incident involving air rifle pellets in the
city, police said.
A bus window was smashed on Norwich's southern bypass earlier in the
week, damage which the police suspect was caused by pellets fired from
an air rifle.

At the birthday rides in the peak district a couple of years ago there
was a rider from pontefract who was nursing an airgun pellet wound in
the calf.
I got hit once by a plastic version.
